three

| February 7, 2012

Look who’s three already! We were invited to Oscar’s birthday party on Saturday, but given its remote distance (Philadelphia), we had to attend via The Oscar Files. His actual birthday is today, so Mauri and I had a short skype date to sing the Macy birthday song and catch some of the flavor of Oscar [...]

There’s just no end to the puzzle fun. Look what showed up in today’s e-mail. This is Beth. So far I’ve met her only on skype. Taylor met Beth when they were in training with Comprehensive Health Services in Cape Canaveral, Florida. And now they work together in Iraq. We look forward to meeting Beth [...]

showering “baby macy”

| January 21, 2012

Almost exactly one year ago the women of our family gathered at The Feller House to shower “Little Macy” with love and gifts. That time Erin was the mama, and Little Macy turned out to be Sage. This year we have Baby Macy due to arrive in another month or so, grand #8! This time [...]

upcycled

| December 30, 2011

I think upcycled is what we’re calling it these days. Take something you no longer use and change it into something else. I thought I’d give it a whirl. I’d already cut one sleeve off of my no-longer-worn sweater before I thought to take a picture. Zip zap and I’d made my sweater into a [...]

actions speak louder than words

| December 29, 2011

I made a quick trip to Arizona after Christmas to enjoy a few days with the Anderson family. Yes, I was just there a month ago but the added draw was the presence of son Ben, there from Michigan for some sunshine and family. Not necessarily in that order, of course. We heard quite a [...]

mine!

Don’t even think about touching my Christmas poodle. She’s all mine.

This hangs in our front entry hall as a fun reminder of loved ones in my past. Meet Aunt Helen, Grandma Nill, and Aunt Esther. Classy ladies, each. Now you know why a big smile covered my face this morning when I saw this on Pinterest. I might have to learn how to knit (again).

always a kick

| December 9, 2011

We had scheduled a 5 o’clock dinner date at Friendsview with Mom Edna so I could help her with her annual Christmas letter. But she had to bump it up 15 minutes so she and Keith and Eilene (her brother and sister-in-law) could leave for the George Fox girl’s basketball game at 5:30. Not only [...]

a second home for the holidays

| November 28, 2011

Come along with us and see by way of at least a few* pictures (*a relative word) what we’ve just experienced as a family over Thanksgiving. I challenge you to look at the pictures and not wish you were with us! You won’t see beauty in the land—but you’ll see beauty in the faces of [...]
